I still don't see how what you did was standing up for yourself or justifiable. All it looks like to me is that you got pissed off that someone called you unattractive. You got what somewhat of what you deserved, but you should have gotten more for assaulting the guy. You in now way were in any danger so it wasn't self defense. I get people get angry enough to wear you want to punch someone, but by standing up for yourself you just had to make some witty comment back or, I dunno, maybe just ignore him. You weren't standing up for yourself you were being an angry, out of control girl, lashing out and assaulting someone. What you did was a crime. I have no clue what the judge was thinking.

Yeah, you totally deserved that and then some. The judge was being totally unprofessional. You should have had to pay the full $500 dollars. There is never a reason to punch someone and damage their property over a verbal conflict. Especially because his comment was totally warranted since you were kind of being a b***h. If you think it's ever OK to lay a hand on someone or damage their property out of anything other than self-defense you should be in anger management.

Let me just take it upon myself to say; What a coincidence, all of you would try and rationalize the physical assault of another man for making a joke, as OP did. Oh but she's female she has carte-blanche when it comes to rape scenarios because rape is more prevalent of women. Another coincidence most of you have the letter "I" as the first letter in your usernames, you all must think you're eccentric for standing up for breaking laws! Violence! And with violence comes rape, so you all must be for rape too so GO RAPE, HELL YEAH RAPE!
Unless there is nonviolent rape.

Targeting usernames just because some of us have the letter 'i' in our name really shouldnt matter. I'm standing up for the girl not because of the whole topic of rape but because the guy had it coming basically. So you can shut your yap. I never said I was for Rape or violence, its just the guy had it coming. So..really you can state your opinion but dont speak for someone who never said they were for something or against it. Personally my opinion I am against violence such as war and im also against rape. But really the guy had it coming to him. I know I'd be pissed if I had an insult launched at me but I've got good self control so I wouldnt fly a fist at anyone, in fact I never have I just know how to handle my emotions. I never said I was eccentric for breaking laws so seriously try harder next time okay?? smile

I don't see how you can justify the OP but say you are "against violence".
